Tea Party 2009

We like to kick off the Christmas Season with our annual Thompson Ladies' Tea Party at our house. This year we had a great turnout and it was so fun to see everyone before the holidays got really busy!!! Here's a great photo of everyone there - 19 in all (20 with the baby here with Erin - due in February!!) Thanks again everyone for coming - we love this tradition!

Jaxon's First Christmas

Jaxon's first Christmas was amazing!! How fun it is to experience Christmas with kids again! Of course Jaxon was completely spoiled (as the first Grandchild on both sides, I think it was kind of expected!!) I can't wait until next year when he'll know even more about what's going on. Here are some highlights of our holiday!

Jaxon as Santa's Helper, helping Grandpa John decorate his tree!
